On Wednesday, we went to Mass to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption, and then headed out to Jamestown.

Lunch break.
We brought our own food everywhere and saved a lot of moolah. |

| Maggie looks ready for battle, if only she could actually look. |
 |
| Watching someone make something. I couldn't keep up. Judging from the boys interest level, it must be a knife or sword. |

| More old timey games |

| The church |
 |
| A spiky ball (I don't actually know what it was, that's just what Andrew called it) |
 |
| Phil said Andrew should grow his hair out like this dude. |
 |
| I loved this image of a fur trader's dealings, look how much money he made! He earned a 650% profit on a deal like this one!!! |

| Goodies from the gift store |
Later that night, Phil and I went out on a date while Nana and Gramps watched the kids.
TMI? (Too Much Imagery?)
We went to a delicious Mexican restaurant, and I had to take a picture of this waiter making the world's fastest guacamole. Not for us, for the table next to us. I'm allergic to avocados (cue violin):
Then Phil let me shop at The Loft while he
flirted talked to a stranger about the
Laura Ingraham's book he was reading, and they commiserated about how the world was going to hell in a hand basket.
It was another great day of vacation!
OH THE KISS!
ReplyDeleteDate night..sounds so romantic. I need one soon.
Looks like a fun little trip.
I love all the history on the east coast.
All we have in my small town is Charles Lindbergh.(sp)
My boys love Jamestown . . . .especially when someone is shooting a gun!
ReplyDeleteDate night looks fun! I am so sad for you! Avocado and fresh guacamole are my favorite!!
Looks like another great day! And I think your phone is taking some pretty darn good pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe spike-y ball is the fruit from a sweet gum tree. We always call them gumballs!
Oh man. I should've been a fur trader, I should've been a fur trader, I should've been a fur trader... but alas, I was a poor Catholic School teacher (I'd like to think my profit will be more than 650% in heaven)
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. Give my love to Phil's family. Wish I could've come down with you guys this time. Seems forever since I've seen them!
Your date. You two. Tooo cute. As for Phil's conversation, I can TOTALLY see that!
Can't wait to get you home, though. I miss you. *sniff*
Wow! I would totally love those ships. My kids would love those ships. What a very history-y day. My hubby would probably enjoy that kinda day a ton (history major).
ReplyDeleteA date, so sweet. That Phil, such a ladies man. Out on a date with one woman and talking it up with another. Don't worry, I don't think that woman's got a thing on you. You SO could take her! :)
